Georgia to Alabama to Louisiana and Texas



Reunion News 2007

There is going to be a 2007 Reunion
that will include the Sirmons and both sets of
John Ziba Hardee's children's descendants.

The dates are June 1 & 2, 2007. The place is
the 4-B Horse Ranch in Frankston, TX. Registration
begins at 1:00 on Friday. A Continental Breakfast
begins the day on Saturday, followed by a trip
to John Ziba Hardee's grave, for those who wish
to go. Saturday night, there will be a big BBQ
at the Barn. 

Reunion Costs: Adults: $20; Children 7 - 12: $10, 
Children 6 and younger: Free

One thing you really need to do is make your 
reservations early. There is ample lodging in Athens 
and Tyler, TX, but we recommend making reservations 
EARLY at the Lake Palestine Motor Inn, before the 
fishing tournaments reservations begin. Lake Palestine 
Motor Inn, on Hwy 155, is just 4 miles from the Barn. 
Their reservations number is: 903-876-4711. Room Rates 
are: $52 for a single and $57 for a double. If you 
would like to bring an RV, there is an RV park on Hwy 
155, about 1/2 mile from the motel, right on the lake. 

Dress casual and cool. The Barn has plenty of fans,
so everyone will be comfortable...

Please contact the webmaster 
Carol Scott
 or 
Sonny Perry
 for information about where to send your check
and for detailed directions to the Barn.





If you have a website or a database
for your own family, PLEASE get in 
touch with me. This page belongs to
all of us. A link for your page and/or
your e-mail will be added to this page
so that others can get in touch with you too.



John Ziba Hardee and Descendants

If you are looking for the descendants of
John Ziba Hardee's first marriage to Peggy
Mitchell, or for the descendants of his
second marriage to Tabitha Brooks,
you have arrived. 



If you find a Hardee, you will likely
find a Sirmon nearby. Please visit the
home page of Bill and Marilyn Sirmon.
My father, T.L. "Buddy" Dykes, Jr.,
would have been thrilled beyond words to
have found Bill and Marilyn's pages.



Note: The Nathan Sirmon section of
Known Descendants of John Ziba
Hardee and Nathan Sirmon has been
separated from the original manuscript
and now can be found online on
Bill Sirmon's site. The
current book in print is Known Descendants
of John Ziba Hardee, and includes the
descendants of his second marriage.



There are still a few of you missing
from the genealogy book, so - 

 "phone (e-mail) home."




To show you how important it is that
you get in touch – since I put the
Table of Contents 
for the new book online, TWO
previously unresearched branches
of the family have "checked in"
and two errors have been corrected.
So PLEASE, if you are a descendant of
John Ziba Hardee, we are waiting for YOU.



The information on the rest of this page
concerns my own branch of the family. I
will move it to its own page shortly, so
please bare with me.

Joel Hardee & Isabella Coker

I am descended from John Hamp Hardee,
the youngest child of Joel Hardee and
Isabella Coker. However, their oldest
child was Nathan Ziba "Dick" Hardee.
"Dick" married Mary Susan Mixon. We 
have their descendants in Known
Descendants of John Ziba Hardee, but
there is a wonderful site online that
has a GedCom file of Mary Susan Mixon's
family that you can download.
It belongs to Uncle Joe.
Please take a look at this great site.
